About

What are Surveys in Site Investigation?

Surveys play a crucial role in site investigation, offering precise data that forms the foundation of any successful construction or development project.

Surveys involve the detailed measurement and mapping of a site’s physical features, subsurface characteristics, and existing structures or utilities.

This data is essential for understanding the site’s conditions and for making informed decisions during the planning, design, and construction phases of a project.

At Igne, our survey services encompass a wide range of methods and technologies to provide comprehensive insights into your site.

Using the latest underground utility detection technologies, including Stream DP, Radio Frequency Location (RFL), and Ground Penetration Radar (GPR), Igne can also accurately locate and identify all buried services and utilities.

Whether you need to assess topographical features, locate underground utilities, measure building dimensions, or monitor changes over time, our surveys deliver the accurate data you need to proceed with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions about Surveys

What is the purpose of a survey in site investigation?


Surveys provide detailed data about a site’s physical features, subsurface conditions, and existing structures.  This information is crucial for planning, design, and construction, helping to mitigate risks and ensure project success.

How long does a typical survey take?


The duration of a survey depends on the size and complexity of the site, as well as the specific survey techniques used.  A simple topographical survey may take a few days, while more complex surveys, such as utility mapping or monitoring, may take longer.

What makes us unique at Igne is that we work with you to ensure you receive the survey service and data you actually need.  In all too many cases we come across plans where extensive surveying is requested when not needed.  It is our commitment to you that you will receive only the service and data you need – nothing more and certainly nothing less

What technologies are used in modern surveys?


Modern surveys use a range of advanced technologies, including Stream DP, Radio Frequency Location (RFL), GPS, laser scanning, ground penetrating radar (GPR), drones (UAVs), and CAD software.  These tools allow for precise data collection and detailed analysis.

Why are utility surveys important?

Utility surveys are important because they help to locate and map underground utilities.  This is critical for avoiding damage during excavation and construction, which can be costly and dangerous.

How can drone surveys benefit my project?

Drone surveys provide high-resolution aerial data, allowing for a comprehensive view of large or difficult-to-access sites.  This data can be used for mapping, planning, and monitoring, making drone surveys a valuable tool for many projects.

On-Site Testing

On-Site Testing

If you're planning a new development, or you're concerned about the risks associated with an existing site, it's important to consider in-situ testing as part of your site investigation program. On-site (or in-situ) testing is conducted directly on the ground, without the need to remove any soil or rock samples to a laboratory. This allows our engineers to obtain information about your ground conditions over a larger area, and to test the ground in its undisturbed state.
